Drug testing welfare recipients, as recently became law in Florida and is pending in NC, is one of those feel good without actually doing good laws that you speak of. They have proven to be a huge waste of money in FL because the government loses even more money every time someone passes their drug test, which has proven to be the vast majority of the time. So I hope you don’t consider that proposed legislation to fulfill your suggestion #4 because it doesn’t. Just throwing in some facts.

RobbWed, 24 Apr 2013 04:25:34 +0000http://www.catholicvote.org/?p=48080#comment-154291By your logic, there is no reason to pursue legislation making abortion illegal because criminals will just ignore the law and still get abortions. Its not worth it even if it saves just one innocent unborn child. So I would cross #5 off your list because no criminal would bother to care about something as meaningful to us as life.

Specifically, how will that work? I really don’t understand…

The real queston is is there any way to curb violence? O’Reilly of FOX News once said in support of religion that “religion has a calming effect in political turmoil”. Given the recent murders by Muslims, please tell me where.

Evangelization runs rampant in most faiths. Possible exceptions are Judism, Budahism and many of the far east religions.

Sanity will prevail no matter what happens. It’s human nature.
